South Africa's Chad le Clos believes he has a claim on Sun Yang's gold medal from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, after the Chinese swimmer was banned for eight years following a court of arbitration for sport (Cas) ruling.
Le Clos' Olympic record currently contains one gold medal and three silvers - including a second-place finish to Sun in the 200-metre freestyle at the 2016 Games.
'I should get my gold medal back from Rio,' Le Clos said. 'not for the moment - I lost that, I don't really care about that - just for my record, you know? I mean, if I break my leg then I can't swim again. I want my record to say two individual golds to individual silvers, because that's what it should be."

Despite Fury outboxing Wilder for most of the fight, two late knockdowns from Wilder saw a draw be called between the pair.

Kobe Bryant, who has died in a helicopter crash at the age of 41, was a basketball prodigy, spending his entire storied career with the Los Angeles Lakers, where he won five NBA championships. The Lakers star, nicknamed the Black Mamba, scored 81 points against the Toronto Raptors in 2006, the second-highest in NBA history. Bryant has been mourned by Magic Johnson as 'the greatest Laker of all time' and an inspiration to a generation of young players, but his reputation was tarnished by an accusation of rape in 2003. He was killed with eight others, including his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, when the helicopter they were travelling in crashed outside Los Angeles on Sunday morning.

Dom Bess said he dreamed of taking all 10 South African wickets as he enjoyed the finest moment of his career on day three of the third Test at St George’s Park. England, having racked up 499-9 declared on day two in its first innings for its best-ever test total in Port Elizabeth, had South Africa 208-6 at stumps on the third day.

More than 45,000 teddy bears were tossed on to the ice at a minor league hockey game in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The annual Teddy Bear Toss event happens once the Hershey Bears score their first goal of the new season. The stuffed animals are then collected and donated to local charities for the holiday season. The previous record in 2018 was just short of 35,000. The number of teddy bears exceeded the number of fans at the arena by almost five to one as the arena only holds a capacity of 10,500 people.

South Africa have won the Rugby World Cup in a stunning 32-12 victory over Eddie Jones's England. The Springboks are champions for a third time after Makazole Mapimpi and Cheslin Kolbe added tries to Handré Pollard's 22 kicked points. A strong performance from Rassie Erasmus's side was too much for England but the consistency of the boot of fly-half Pollard made the difference

Six-try New Zealand surged past Wales to claim World Cup bronze. The All Blacks scored two tries in the opening twelve minutes and Wales never really threatened to make it difficult for Steve Hansen's side. It was a game of farewells as both Hansen and Wales' head coach Warren Gatland are departing after the competition.

The England head coach, Eddie Jones, and his coaching staff took a break from their Rugby World Cup final preparations to coach a local youth rugby team. Having coached in Japan for six years, including leading the national side to the 2015 World Cup, Jones was able to communicate with the teenagers from Fuchu Nishi High School in Japanese. England face Rassie Erasmus's Springboks in a repeat of the 2007 final that saw South Africa lift the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time, while England are aiming for their second title, having been successful back in 2003.

England captain Owen Farrell got some goal-kicking tips from Rugby World Cup winner Jonny Wilkinson on Friday, a day ahead of the final against South Africa. Wilkinson scored the drop goal that won England their first ever World Cup in 2003 in the last minute of extra time against Australia - so who better than him to impart his wisdom on Farrell? England face South Africa in a repeat of the 2007 final, which saw the Springboks lift the Webb Ellis Cup for the second time.

An unchanged England XV will take on the Springboks in Saturday's Rugby World Cup final. Head coach Eddie Jones has urged his side to play with no fear against Rassie Erasmus's side. 'We know South Africa’s going to come hard,' he said. 'They’ve got a history of being the most physically intimidating team in the world, so we’ve got to take that away from them.'

England No 8 Billy Vunipola has welcomed South Africa's promise to fight fire with fire by telling them to 'bring it on' ahead of their World Cup final clash on Saturday. Speaking after the Springboks victory against Wales, second row Lood de Jager said 'the only way we know is fighting fire with fire'. England's defence coach John Mitchell described Saturday's tie as a showdown between the world's two most powerful teams in rugby

Eddie Jones's plan to disrupt the All Blacks from the outset seemed to work as his England side lined up in a V formation whilst they performed the haka. England captain Owen Farrell has been criticised by some for his smirk whilst they performed the challenge, some believe his actions were warranted to rile up the opposition. England could face a fine for their actions. Teams have tried in the past to disrupt the New Zealand tradition, here's a look back at the times it's worked and the times it hasn't

Eddie Jones has hit back at Warren Gatland after his comments about England ahead of the World Cup final on Saturday. The Wales head coach said 'We have seen in previous World Cups that teams sometimes play their final in semi-finals and don’t always turn up for a final,” Gatland said. 'So it will be interesting to see how England are next week and it could be a good game'. When asked about this during his press conference Eddie Jones told his old sparring partner to 'enjoy the third-fourth place play-off'.

Donald Trump was booed loudly and a chant of 'lock him up' rose up against him when he was shown on the video screens in the Nationals Park stadium, where he attended game five of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. Trump left the game with one inning to go

Steve Hansen admitted that his New Zealand side were the weaker side after they lost 19-7 to England in the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup. 'We played as well as we possibly could we just got beaten by a better team and we have to take that on the chin,' the coach said. Hansen's dream of lifting the World Cup trophy as a parting gift was denied, and his side will now face either South Africa or Wales in a third-place play off next weekend
